Like a clown invasion?

It's on tonight's To Do List, Ternith. Can't make any promises, but I'll look at it.

I think we're the only guild who actually gets negative effects from our abilities.

>Moon Mages have at least 1 spell that negatively affects their perception.

Nah, that was removed months ago.

Trader speculate was giving a charisma penalty too, but that got fixed, at least in TF.

And this is why I think PAFO needs to be a banned phrase.

Like I said, I'll look into it tonight. I may need to snag those of you who are having issues for moment or two if you're around.

After speaking with Aurdun on the war paint and him going to do some looking into the problem (it seemed from what you said Aurdun and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) that the specialized warpaint that some of us got is in fact intended in specific circumstances to deliver a negative charisma modifier associated with its use.

I'm still unsure as to why this would happen or the circumstances that would lead to it occurring and I was told that information as to exactly why would not be forth coming, though I'll admit after thinking about it that PAFO and the barbarian guild is getting completely out of hand.

I am unsure as to if this is happening with regular warpaint or and would be interested in anyone that's had a like experience with a charisma drop post up what they were doing when it happened.

In my case I was dancing dragon, stopped, started up cobra, and then applied the paint. No messaging showing that something had gone wrong was visible, which I'll go ahead and state for the record if there is gonna be a "You've screwed up result" that something be put into the messaging that we are at least aware of it.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels. I consider them unwise and I know they are dangerous. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.

Agreed 100%.

Why is that? It challenges my notion of warpaint.. I would think me painting broad swathes of paint on my face and gearing up for battle, would be better then some other barb drawing a black widow on my face with pink paint.

>>Any chance of getting a bonus to applying it to yourself if you have custom paints?

Why? Are you using a compact to make sure you put your makeup on properly?

I don't know... because we are special? Yeah there is a compact in it. Heh does everything in game need to make sense?

I'm sorry you felt that way. I was simply trying to humorously point out the difficulties in applying a semi-solid substance to ones own face when they cannot see what they are doing. Even in a mirror it can be difficult and take a great deal of practice to get the lines right I would imagine. Keep in mind that often the design one might be going for isn't simplistic but rather a deliberate image intended to evoke a specific reaction. This is easier for someone else to do for you than to attempt to do yourself, mirror or no mirror.

In all honesty I think there are already enough penalties applied to paint and it shouldnt require anyone else to gain maximum potential. Here's a breakdown Warpaint has limited usage, downtime, Rt to apply and use it, it wears off with inactivity and then theres the cost, supply/demand (ie not like the merchant is a permanent fixture)

While I dont want to GvG this other magic boosters require alot less effort IMHO.
PSA. (I used this example because it has the closest semblence to paint)
